pass the number of elements remaining.  That's all we care about
in these functions by that point.

lift iov one more level out - from process_vm_rw_single_vec to
process_vm_rw_core().  Same story as with the previous commit.

move iov to caller's stack frame; the value we assign to it on the
next call of process_vm_rw_pages() is equal to the value it had
when the last time we were leaving process_vm_rw_pages().

drop lvec argument of process_vm_rw_pages() - it's not used anymore.

generic_file_aio_read() was looping over the target iovec, with loop over
(source) pages nested inside that.  Just set an iov_iter up and pass *that*
to do_generic_file_aio_read().  With copy_page_to_iter() doing all work
of mapping and copying a page to iovec and advancing iov_iter.

Switch shmem_file_aio_read() to the same and kill file_read_actor(), while
we are at it.

it's pointless and actually leads to wrong behaviour in at least one

The current mainline has copies propagated to *all* nodes, then
tears down the copies we made for nodes that do not contain
counterparts of the desired mountpoint.  That sets the right
propagation graph for the copies (at teardown time we move
the slaves of removed node to a surviving peer or directly
to master), but we end up paying a fairly steep price in
useless allocations.  It's fairly easy to create a situation
where N calls of mount(2) create exactly N bindings, with
O(N^2) vfsmounts allocated and freed in process.

Fortunately, it is possible to avoid those allocations/freeings.
The trick is to create copies in the right order and find which
one would've eventually become a master with the current algorithm.
It turns out to be possible in O(nodes getting propagation) time
and with no extra allocations at all.

One part is that we need to make sure that eventual master will be
created before its slaves, so we need to walk the propagation
tree in a different order - by peer groups.  And iterate through
the peers before dealing with the next group.

Another thing is finding the (earlier) copy that will be a master
of one we are about to create; to do that we are (temporary) marking
the masters of mountpoints we are attaching the copies to.

Either we are in a peer of the last mountpoint we'd dealt with,
or we have the following situation: we are attaching to mountpoint M,
the last copy S_0 had been attached to M_0 and there are sequences
S_0...S_n, M_0...M_n such that S_{i+1} is a master of S_{i},
S_{i} mounted on M{i} and we need to create a slave of the first S_{k}
such that M is getting propagation from M_{k}.  It means that the master
of M_{k} will be among the sequence of masters of M.  On the
other hand, the nearest marked node in that sequence will either
be the master of M_{k} or the master of M_{k-1} (the latter -
in the case if M_{k-1} is a slave of something M gets propagation
from, but in a wrong peer group).

So we go through the sequence of masters of M until we find
a marked one (P).  Let N be the one before it.  Then we go through
the sequence of masters of S_0 until we find one (say, S) mounted
on a node D that has P as master and check if D is a peer of N.
If it is, S will be the master of new copy, if not - the master of S
will be.

That's it for the hard part; the rest is fairly simple.  Iterator
is in next_group(), handling of one prospective mountpoint is
propagate_one().

It seems to survive all tests and gives a noticably better performance
than the current mainline for setups that are seriously using shared
subtrees.

fixes RCU bug - walking through hlist is safe in face of element moves,
since it's self-terminating.  Cyclic lists are not - if we end up jumping
to another hash chain, we'll loop infinitely without ever hitting the
original list head.
